Can I leave dye in AC system /
Used refrigerant with dye to help check leaks. It turns out no leakage at all. Now, can I just leave the dye in the system. Or should I have the system vacuum and recharged with fresh refrigerant ? Is dye harmful to the system ?

Once dye is in it stays. You should be ok, if your dye was approved for the application.
